## Description

desertcart.com: Glorious GMMK 2 Gaming Mechanical Keyboard - Hotswap Cherry Mx Style Linear Switches- Full Size Wired Keyword- Double Shot Keycaps, RGB - PC Setup Accessories - 96%, Black : Video Games

Review: Great keyboard, switches and keycaps for a very reasonable price. - The GMMK 2 is an upgrade in all respects from the original GMMK. I really like the 96% layout since it feels like a TKL board but has a number pad. It's VERY quiet out of the box and the linear switches are smooth and nice to type on or game on. I generally prefer tactile switches (like Cherry MX Brown or Glorious Panda) but the Red Fox linear switches the GMMK2 comes with are very nice. The software and driver are functional. Not great but they work fine. You can set the input lag to 0ms, 8ms, or 16ms (it defaults to 16ms). Higher will avoid key chatter, lower will tighten up input lag. RGB lighting is very bright and there are numerous choices for patterns and the option of setting per key. Of note: There are 3 layers you can define settings for in the Glorious software. This includes macros and lighting settings for each layer. Hotkeys are definable to swap/cycle layers. It's a very nice keyboard, much better than it's predecessor (which is now discounted significantly). It may not measure up to some of the higher end custom build keyboards that are available through group buys or Drop, but it gets pretty close. Like, real close. Alternatively, you can look at the Keychron Q2 which would be a smaller keyboard with a knob. Build quality is slightly higher but so is the price. The GMMK Pro is also an option (again, smaller layout). But I would advise waiting to see if they port over some of the enhancements from the GMMK 2 to a new version of the Pro before buying one of those. TLDR; It's a great keyboard. Feels nice, sounds good, customizable if you want to change it later on. And the price is right. I like it.
Review: Love this keyboard for work and play! Quiet enough for office use. - TLDR; I researched for weeks to find the quietest mechanical keyboard under $150 and this was the winner. Quiet, responsive, solid build, backlit AND readable in the dark, and built-in memory for macros/button customization. LED customization so it doesn't have to look so "gamer-y." Excellent keyboard for the price! Pre-built was the most cost-effective way to go since it included the Fox linear switches. I originally purchased it thinking I would switch them to gateron browns, but the I actually really like the Fox switches. They are very responsive and very quiet! I needed something less clicky for when I was working from home because the logitch mx blue switches drove my wife crazy. Since I was using this for gaming and work, I wanted it compact with a numpad. The GMMK 2 delivered! It's only ~2" longer than most TKL boards and has enough separation between the arrows and numpad that I don't typo. The keyboard did have a little bit of a learning curve with a smaller (1u) 0 key on the numpad, but after this adjustment it's been great. The Glorious software allows you to full customize the keyboard LEDs, button functions, and macros. There's no dedicated Home button, so I was able to re-bind a key to do it. Another plus is this is a great beginner keyboard for those wanting to get into modding. I changed the keycaps to PBT and rubberized caps and made the keyboard even quieter and "thoccy" by doing the "foam mod," "bandaid mod," and adding O-ring. Rubberized arrow keycaps made for more textural separated to prevent typos even more.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Solid Choice
*by A***R on January 13, 2024*

I'm gonna get straight to the point. I've been PC gaming the last 16 years. 8 only on a laptop (with a 96% keyboard), 8 mainly on desktop with a full size. This boards incredible. Right as you pull it out of the box you notice it has heft. It's not a brick, and it's not flimsy either. Keycaps are perfectly tactile, everything is where and how it should be. It has that nice soft, thocky red switch sound. The software is easily, the simplest and the best that i've used with all the rgb keyboards i've had. Per key adjustments and nice presets. It's great, all around, solid as hell keyboard. The only thing that would make it even better is if it had bluetooth. But even then, this is by far the best keyboard i have ever used and purchased.
